Frequently Asked Questions

The timeline for a commercial demolition project can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the job. It can range from a few days to several weeks. During the planning phase, we’ll work closely with you to develop a detailed schedule and ensure your project stays on track.

After demolition, we prioritize sustainability by recycling or repurposing as much material as possible, including metals, concrete, and wood. Our goal is to minimize waste and reduce the environmental impact of the project.

The demolition process includes several key steps to ensure safety and efficiency:

  1. Conducting a site walk-through to assess the structure and identify the areas to be demolished.
  2. Inspecting the site for hazardous materials, such as asbestos, to ensure safe removal.
  3. Determining the most appropriate demolition method based on the structure and materials involved.
  4. Establishing safety measures, including clear egress routes and reviewing safety protocols with all on-site personnel.
  5. Completing the demolition, followed by clearing the site and grading the land to prepare for the next phase of construction.

Yes, most demolition projects that involve removing at least half of the interior or exterior walls will require a permit. Additionally, there are new pre-demolition inspection and notification requirements that must be met before beginning any demolition work.

The demolition method we use depends on the specifics of each project to ensure safety and minimize environmental impact. There are three primary methods of demolition:

  • Explosion/Implosion:This method uses controlled explosions to bring down large structures.
  • Demolition by Hand:Involves manual labor for smaller or more delicate demolitions, ensuring precision and control.
  • Demolition by Machine:Heavy machinery, such as excavators and skid steers, is used for larger structures, providing efficiency and power.

We carefully assess each project to determine the best approach based on its unique needs.
